    The history of how Sunday worship came about.

    We see the scriptures are clear that no other day was made as the day of worship except the seventh day, and Christians are fully aware that Sunday worship is not ordained by God or anywhere in the Bible or given by Christ or the apostles, so what is its origin. Here are statements that give a...

    Has your church 'died' and you dont know it?

    We see churches dying as its members no longer come, and others being destroyed directly by evil itself.. I know everyone thinks their church is alive, because the buildings are there, and many names in the registry. But there are churchs with 500-1000 people, and yet they were 'dead', no...

    Does Catholic Church know 'veneration of Saints' was transferred from idol worship?

    Official saint making, or canonization by the Vatican, did not start until the 11th century, but as early as the 2nd century, the veneration of saints began to be allowed to spread by the pagan converts and came into the church. Basically what Gentile converts were doing was the same thing they...

    Why every Christian has to stand before Judgement

    Like the Jews when they were waiting for the Messiah, Christians have their own ideas of what will happen before Jesus comes, including who will be judged and when. People as a given, tend to look to self as their first priority and see what they want to see, usually for their own liking rather...

    How do you help a brother or sister that sins?

    1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We find many threads on what to do if you see a brother sin, usually to rebuke or point him out, but some times to just ridicule or worse things. But how about helping...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    There is a false doctrine that teaches all people will be saved, that a good and loving God would not allow any to perish. They come up with many ideas of how this can happen, that after a cleansing period such as another false doctrine, Purgatory, God will free sinners and let them get to...

    Test of a Prophet moved by the Holy Spirit

    2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. We read of a dispute between the prophet Micaiah and four hundred prophets of Israel in 1 Kings 22. 1 Kings 22:1-26 1 And they continued three years without...

    What is too extreme when it comes to being a Christian?

    We have the overriding and core principle that Christ gives us, which is to love one another, so how should we apply it in dealing people that seem a bit zealous in their religious views or actions.

    Is it important to keep the Sabbath?

    What does the Bible show us? It shows that it certainly is. In God's final warning messages to the world we find a call to worship the Creator.

    What is the Great Tribulation?

    Now if you ask, the answer a lot of people give is that is a seven or more years at some time in the future.
